Return

After about a year of not blogging via this site, I'd like to make it and myself more active again as a creative outlet.
Here are some things I've been up to lately

A drawing of Nick Drake for a friend.

and some song related photoshop pieces just to keep me going.

I hope to keep this blog updated with more art works and fashion posts asap! Also, I hope you dig my header. It's new.

Making the best of T-shirt season!

Since I'm hopelessly devoted to all things grunge, I've been keeping an eye out for funky t-shirts and how they combine with grunge wear. Here are some things I've found and loved.

Harley shirts are always classically awesome. Actually I'm wearing one now! They're usually pretty interesting and have fun phrases on them. Mine says "forever wild"

The Talking Heads!

You can find a mock Guns N' Roses T-shirt at H&M for $17!

Jessica Stam has been my favorite model since I was 15 or so.  I love the way she wears things and I was so psyched to see her in Nirvana Tees and grungy clothes.

Like this MJ shirt which I actually have!

The motorcycle tank top is also awesome but here I love it with the super ripped up jeans.

Nirvana always had the best T-Shirts!

This T-Shirt from The Black Dahlia Murder is one of my favorites I've gotten lately. Decided to put some holes in it and make it look extra grungy.

This Led Zeppelin shirt is my boyfriend's but I love it a lot so I wear it all the time. 

My roommate gave me this T-shirt from his high school punk rock years which says "Strangers have the best candy" in drippy red blood letters.

My favorite things about T-shirts are the funky retro designs and awesome color schemes but I also love cool cuts into the fabric that make them look really badass.

My favorite is this one where you get to expose your cute/ modely shoulders if you have them...

This is something I'd love to attempt sometime soon!

As well as this! 

Can't wait for summer and the creation of new practical/ impractical things!

flower power

This spring's excessively floral thing is absolutely wonderful! I went shopping recently and bought entirely too many floral items. Here are some things I like and some things I found:

Making myself and my sister one of these headbands. daisies will look awesome with so many things.

This Frida Kahlo kindof thing

So awesome

Gonna start making a bunch of these headbands asap.

Really thinking about black rose headbands also!

my floral maxi skirt I bought a couple days ago!

My totally funky floral pants I got for $2 at Salvation Army. 

the heaviest boots i own

A while ago these studded boots caught my attention. I couldn't afford them and couldn't find a pair I loved nearly as much so i figured I would make a pair of studded boots of my own. 

First I did these upside down crosses on the backs of my shoes I wear everyday, but they came off pretty quickly so I figured I should try something else.

Then I ripped up some studded belts from my roommates and my regretful pasts and created these bad boys.

 Can't wait to wear them somewhere. :)

LBD

This post is dedicated to my two favorite things: eyeliner and the Little Black Dress.

The original little black dress via Audrey Hepburn

awesome example of the 90's LBD

 now some of my favorites including little black dresses and smokey eyeliner:

This is how I wear my eyes all the time! So excited the fashion world is throwing me a bone this season!

Black velvet is undoubtably my favorite fabric in the world.

via holly and charlotte, thanks guys!

And this is just an altogether awesome look.

I'll update this soon I'm sure! For now, wear eyeliner...too much of it, and the tightest, craziest, velvetiest, sassiest black dress you can.

lacey lacey

I've always been really obsessed with lace so I'm excited that it's actually in style this summer. Some of my favorite lacey looks I've seen lately.

lace with floral!

white eyelet-y lace!

thinking about making myself a pair of these!

black lace is always sexy and makes an awesome statement.

i'll keep you posted on my own lace looks!

Flowery things and spring is coming!

Recently I've found a new thrift store in the city that I had to dig my way through, which was an awesome experience and I can't wait to go back. Bought some new spring attire that I also can't wait to wear. Here are some new inspirational things I've been staring at for the past week!

I got a robe kindof like this one but a little more silky and golden girls...photos to come soon!

Perfect 90's outfit!

Gotta get a pair of boy jeans and some awesome stringy platforms.

A future hair-day.

The fluffiest of hairstyles...The top left is my favorite.

Just an awesome look all together. 

SKELETON SWEATER!

Making a pair of these this week.

What an awesome dress.

Really into this ridiculous robe thing.

Skirt.

Yellow Pants

Agh EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL!!

60's dresses making a comeback. Plus pastels. I love that she's green.

Have yet to pull of the black lipstick thing.

I always love her looks.

So many awesome floral things happening lately.

Should I start wearing veils??

New visual food 4 thought. Spring will be wonderful.Let's get dressed.
